Medium voltage cables
April 2015
This manual contains technical information on a wide variety of commonly used medium voltage (MV) power cables
manufactured to Australian Standard AS/NZS 1429.1.
Full constructional and technical details are given for
Prysmian’s standard range of MV power cables. Other
constructions and variants are available by special order.
Recommended use
The cables described in this technical manual are designed
to be used for the supply of electrical energy in fixed
installations up to the indicated rated voltage at a nominal
power frequency in the range 49Hz to 61Hz.
Cables to AS/NZS 1429.1 and AS/NZS 4026 are intended
for use either installed in air, directly buried in the ground
or in ducts. Cables with LSOH sheath have improved fire
performance when installed in air and are primarily intended
for such locations. Reasonable protection against mechanical
damage should be provided.
Cables in this technical manual are not specifically designed
for use as self-supporting aerial cables, as submarine cables,
where exposure to excessive heat or corrosive products or
solvent substances is involved. In case of any doubt concerning the suitability of a particular cable type for a particular
use, guidance should be sought from Prysmian’s Customer
Service Centre.
Whilst every care has been taken in the preparation of this publication, the Prysmian Group take no responsibility for any errors and or omissions. This booklet is intended as a guide only and reference must be made by any person using this booklet to the appropriate Australian/New Zealand Standard and or to local electricity
supply authority rulings. The company reserves the right to make changes in product without notice. All rights reserved. Subject to change without notice.

Do you always get what you see?
Probably not. And that’s definitely true for cables.
Cables might look the same on the outside. But it’s the inside that counts. And that can differ enormously.
We have always worked with quality as our top priority, listened to our customers and customised our cables
to perfectly fit their needs. ‘Cause we have and always will continue to believe that quality pays off.
Australian made? Yes, of course.

Designations
Product code
Each cable type is identified by a reference type designation
for ease of reference and a full order designation which fully
identifies each cable and should be used on order documentation. Cables are metre marked for ease of installation and
inventory control.
Example: 953CCUX11LDA:
95 mm2 three core, copper conductor, XLPE insulated, 11kV, light duty
screen, armoured.
All cables are listed with the voltage rating for which the cable
is designed, expressed in the form Uo/U, where Uo is the
nominal voltage between conductor(s) and earth and U is
the nominal voltage between phase conductors.
When ordering, please quote the conductor nominal cross
sectional area ahead of the product code which appears on
each data sheet.

MEDIUM VOLTAGE CABLES
Technical Information
Cable Selection
Cables should be selected and used such that the product
does not present an unacceptable risk or danger to life or
property when used in its intended manner.
Cables should also be selected so that they are suitable for the
operating environment conditions e.g. use in petrochemical
works, need for fire performance, the need for protection
against attack by rodents, termites, etc, equipment classification and any other external influences which may exist.
They should also be selected according to the appropriate
rated voltage and the cross-sectional area of every conductor such that its current carrying capacity is not less than
the maximum sustained current which would normally flow
through it, and the short circuit current rating of conductor
and screen is adequate for the prospective short circuit and
time for which it persists.
In addition, consideration should be given to other relevant
factors, such as:
• voltage drop requirements
• operating characteristics of connected equipment
• economics
Environmental protection
The standard cable finishes are adequate for normal environmental conditions. However, there are many installations
where conditions are much more onerous than normal and
some brief notes for protection of cables against hostile
environments are given below. Once the type of protective
covering to meet environmental conditions has been decided, it is generally possible taking voltage and current ratings
into account, to arrive at the type of cable insulation to be
used.
Oil refineries and chemical plants
Polymeric and elastomeric cables are not compatible with
hydrocarbon oils and organic solvents. Such oils and solvents particularly at elevated temperatures are absorbed by
the insulation and sheathing materials leading to swelling
and resultant damage.
Semi-conductive components on high voltage cables may
lose their conductive properties. It follows that where polymeric and elastomeric cables are used in locations where
exposure to hydrocarbon oils and organic solvents is likely,
a lead sheath is required. The most satisfactory protection
for the lead sheath would be a high density polyethylene
sheath with steel wire armour.
128
www.prysmiancable.com.au
For casual contact with oil spills, a Nitrile or CSP rubber
sheath can be used.
PVC sheaths offer good protection against chemical attack.
Specifiers should contact Prysmian for recommendations
regarding the protection of cables against harsh chemical
environments.
Termites, teredoes & rodents
Special constructions are necessary to resist insects such as
termites, as all cables with normal finishes are susceptible
to their attack. If cables are installed in locations where
termite attack is likely, protection may take the form of
one of the following:
• Two helically applied brass tapes, the upper one overlapping the gap in the lower one, may be incorporated
into the cable design. In the case of armoured cable
the brass tapes may be applied under the bedding of
the armour. For unarmoured cable the brass tapes can
be applied over the normal PVC or other extruded sheath
followed by a PVC sheath over the brass tapes.
• A nylon jacket may be applied over the PVC or other
extruded sheath followed by a sacrificial layer of
extruded PVC over the nylon to protect it from damage
during installation.
• Termitex™ technology incorporated into the cable design,
for long term protection.
Chemical treatment of the backfill is no longer recommended
because of damage to the environment and the risk to health.
The teredo worm is prevalent in tropical, subtropical and
temperate oceans and estuaries. Protection is usually
attained by incorporating two brass tapes under the armour
of all submarine cables.
In areas liable to attack by rodents, galvanised steel wire
armour provides an effective barrier. A layer of nylon
covering under the armour provides additional protection
from insects.
Prysmian have expertise in designing cables to resist
boring insect and rodent attack. Please call the Customer
Service Team for advice.
MEDIUM VOLTAGE CABLES
Exposure to mechanical damage
1. Slight exposure to impact and to tensile stresses.
The application of a high density polyethylene sheath can
give appreciable added mechanical protection to cables
with the normal PVC sheath. This method is suitable for
single and multi-core cables.
2. Moderate exposure to impact and to tensile stresses.
Single core cables can be armoured with non-ferrous
armour wire, usually hard drawn aluminium. For Multicore
cables a single layer of galvanised steel wire armour is
recommended. The steel wire is necessary if there is
likely to be a moderate tensile stress applied to the cable
during pulling in or during service. Steel wire armoured
cables offer good protection against rugged installation
conditions.
3. Severe exposure to impact and tensile stresses.
The double wire armour finish offers a very high level of
protection against mechanical damage whether it be
impact or longitudinal tensile stress such as in subsidence
areas and submarine installations on an uneven sea floor.
4. Polymeric protection against impact.
Prysmian developed AIRBAG™, which provides enhanced
mechanical/impact protection keeping the handling and
installation characteristics of unprotected cables.
Exposure to ultra violet radiation
Prysmian has special materials designed to prevent UV
degradation when exposed to sunlight. To be sure the correct
material is used it is necessary to state at the time of enquiry
and ordering that the cable will be exposed to sunlight.
Fire situations
The performance of a cable in a fire situation can be a major
factor in the choice of cable type. When correctly selected,
located and installed cables do not present a fire hazard but
in the case of fire initiated elsewhere, cables provide a source
of fuel and a possible means of propagation along its length.
Additionally cables can contribute to the emission of smoke
and noxious gases injurious to equipment and human health.
Evolution of smoke can reduce visibility, which can cause
panic and create serious problems in evacuating personnel.
The presence of acid gas in the smoke can result in corrosion,
damage of electronic and other equipment and can cause
intense irritation to the eyes and lungs.
On the basis of standards in current use, cables can be divided
into the following categories in relation to their behaviour in
the presence of fire:
Flame propagation (single cable) – when tested singly, the
cable should self-extinguish within a short period of time
and within a short distance from the point of application of
a Bunsen burner flame. Such cables meet AS/NZS 1660.5.6
and IEC 60332 Part 1 and are often called flame retardant.
Such cables will not necessarily prevent propagation along
bunches of cables installed together on vertical racks and
exposed to a large-scale fire source.
Flame propagation (cable bunches) – when tested installed
in defined bunches on a vertical ladder, the cables should not
propagate flame more than a limited distance from the point
of application of a ribbon burner flame front. Such cables
meet AS/NZS 1660.5.1 and IEC 60332 Part 3 and are often
called reduced propagation.
Three categories exist in AS/NZS 1660.5.1 according to the
volume of combustible material tested, Category A (7 l/m),
Category B (3.5 l/m) and Category C (1.5 l/m). It should however be noted that propagation of fire is often a function of
installation conditions and appropriate care should be taken
to ensure that the test category chosen is representative of
the actual installed condition.
Low smoke zero halogen cables – have controlled limits on
smoke evolution when cable samples are burnt in a closed
3m cube smoke chamber and controlled limits on acidic and
corrosive gases when subject to material pyrolysis in a tube
furnace. Such cables meet AS/NZS 1660.5.2 (IEC 61034) for
smoke emission and AS/NZS 1660.5.4 (IEC 754-2) for determination of degree of acidity by measurement of pH and
conductivity and are often called LSOH.
By nature of their typical intended use the MV power
cables of this type may be used where the performance of
the cable in case of fire is important, either for limitation
of the propagation of flame along cable bunches or
the limitation of smoke and corrosive gas emissions.
Reduced flame propagation variants of all cables in this
technical manual can be supplied with LSOH sheaths for
situations where limiting the emission of smoke and corrosive gas from the cables if affected by fire is desirable.
Cables manufactured from PVC and some other traditional
materials when exposed to fire will produce dense black
smoke and harmful fumes and may propagate fire when
installed in bundles. Where these factors are of concern,
the use of LSOH sheathed cables is recommended.

MEDIUM VOLTAGE CABLES
Voltage rating
Uo is the rms power frequency voltage between phase
and earth.
It is important to know whether the system to which the
cable is connected is classified as earthed or unearthed.
Supply authority systems are generally, though not always,
earthed design. Mining systems are usually the unearthed
design. Prysmian products are suitable for voltages that are
commonly used in Australia. Voltage is usually expressed in
the form Uo/U and Um.
U is the rms power frequency voltage between phases.
Um is the maximum continuous rms power frequency
voltage between any two phases for which the cable is
designed. It excludes momentary variations due to fault
conditions or sudden disconnection of large loads.

Category A – system in which any phase conductor that
comes in contact with earth or an earth conductor is disconnected from the system within 1 minute.
The selection of standard cables for particular supply systems
depends on the system voltage and earthing arrangements.
Category B – system which, under fault conditions, is operated for a short time with one phase earthed, not exceeding
8 hours on any occasion and total duration of earth faults in
any year not exceeding 125 hours.

Note: If an earth fault is not automatically and promptly
isolated, the extra stresses on the cable insulation during
the fault reduce the life of the cable to a certain degree.
If the system is expected to be operated fairly often with

the system in Category C.

Current ratings
Temperature limits
The current ratings indicated in this manual have been
based on the calculation procedures as recommended in
IEC 60287 and the following assumptions. Rating factors
should be applied to cover any variation.
In respect of thermal effects the temperature limit given for
each cable type is the maximum temperature due to any
combination of the heating effect of current in the conductors and ambient conditions. All insulation and sheathing
materials become stiffer as their temperature is lowered
and due regard has been taken of this factor in the guidance
on minimum installation temperature.
• Max. continuous conductor temp. = 90 °C
• Ambient air temperature = 40 °C
• Ambient ground temperature = 25 °C
• Depth of laying = 0.8 m
• Thermal resistivity of soil = 1.2 °C.m/W
• Balanced load, comprising either a single three core cable
or three single core cables, in trefoil formation touching
throughout, with the screens bonded at both ends of
the route.
• Installation conditions:
1. Direct Buried:
Cables are installed direct in the ground, with suitable
compacted backfill
2. Buried Singleway Ducts:
Cables are installed with one cable per duct
3. In Free Air:
Cables installed shielded from direct sunlight and
with a minimum clearance from any vertical wall of
0.3xCable Dia. and 0.5xCable Dia. for single and three
core cables respectively to ensure free air circulation.
In order to select the appropriate cable for a given application,
consideration must be given to the nature of the installation.
It is not possible to provide a definitive guide to specifying
the correct cable type for every situation, this choice must
be made by the specifier and/or installer based upon a
knowledge of the installation, applicable regulations and the
characteristics of available cable designs. General guidance
on the use of cable types included has been given above,
but for further information and guidance it is recommended
to make reference to the appropriate cable standard
(e.g. AS/NZS 1429.1 or AS/NZS 4026).
The materials used for these cables are compatible with
temperatures of 90 °C for continuous operation and 250 °C
for short circuit conditions of up to 5 seconds.
The fault ratings for the conductors and the metallic screens
are provided for a time period of 1 second. When other times
(t) between 0.2 and 5 seconds are required, the appropriate
rating may be obtained by multiplying the 1 second rating
by the factor: 1/√t.
The ratings for the screens are based upon the traditional
adiabatic method, which provides a substantial safety
margin when account is taken of the heat loss occurring in
practice. The non-adiabatic method to IEC standards can
be used according to AS/NZS 1429.1 when agreed between
the purchaser and supplier. This can provide substantial
systems savings.
Short circuit capacity that is related to the energy expended
during a short circuit. It is equated to the mass x specified heat
capacity x temperature change in the conductor. Two types
of conditions have to be considered – symmetrical and earth
short circuit currents. Various cable designs have different
nominated maximum temperatures after short circuit,
depending usually on the type of insulation and sheathing,
and these temperatures should not be exceeded.
Economics important criteria related to cable economics are
the initial system cost and annual cost of losses. Economics
are generally considered on a present value calculation
based on initial cost and discounted cost of losses. Data provided in the tables assists specifiers to estimate purchase
and running costs.

Recommended minimum bending radii
The following tables set out the recommended minimum
bending radii for single or multicore polymeric insulated
cables greater than 1.1/1.1kV:
It is good practice when planning ducts or trenches to prescribe a bending radius of 3 metres for 11kV, 22kV and 33kV
cables and 2 metres for cables below 11kV.

The recommendation for installation allows for the cable to
be pulled under tension. Where cables are placed in position
adjacent to joints and terminations and the bending is carefully controlled, the controlled bending radius as given in
the data tables may be used. Sidewall Bearing Pressures
need to be considered also.
Where: D = Overall diameter of cable in mm.
D* = Diameter over Nylon jacket component in mm.
The radius is related to the inner surface of the cable and
not the axis.

Using a Stocking grip: P = 0.0035 D2
Where:
P = Tension in kN
D = Cable diameter in mm

www.prysmiancable.com.au
Notes:
1. When considering the use of a stocking grip the tension
should not exceed the values given for a pulling eye on
the conductor(s).
2. Refer also to Maximum Sidewall Bearing Pressure.
Using bond pulling:
By this method the cable is tied at intervals to a steel hawser
which is coiled onto a take-up winch in the normal manner.
The hawser would be twice the length of the cable being
pulled. In this way the pulling load on the cable is kept to a
low value and risk of damage to the cable is minimised.
MEDIUM VOLTAGE CABLES
Maximum sidewall bearing pressure
Joints and terminations
Another factor which can limit the maximum tension that a
cable can withstand is the sidewall bearing pressure exerted
on a cable in duct bends and elbows. The sidewall bearing
pressure formula is expressed as:
Whilst jointing and terminating of Medium Voltage Polymeric
Cables is routine, care is needed to maintain clean working
conditions and in ensuring that the insulation semiconducting screen is completely removed and properly connected
at the stress control areas. Reference should be made to
literature for suitable systems available from Prysmian.
SWBP = [W 2 + (T/(0.0098 x R))2]
(equation 1)
as most of the time, [T/(0.0098 x R)]2 >> W 2
equation 1 can therefore be simplified as follows:
SWBP ≈ T/(0.0098 x R)
From eqn. 2 => T = 0.0098 x R x SWBP
From eqn. 2 => R = T / (0.0098 x SWBP)
Where:
(equation 2)
(equation 3)
(equation 4)
SWBP = sidewall bearing pressure (kg/m)
W = weight of cable per unit length (kg/m)
T = cable pulling tension (kN)
R = radius of the bend or elbow (m)
The recommended maximum SWBP for sheathed cables
shall be 1450kg/m.
Examples:
To find out the maximum pulling tension of a 12.7/22kV
240mm2 copper single core PVC sheathed cable based on
its minimum recommended bending radius:
1. First calculate the minimum recommended bending
radius without considering SWBP:
= 18 x Cable diameter
= 18 x 40.5mm
= 729mm
Then calculate the maximum pulling tensions:
a) Maximum pulling tension for straight pull:
T = 0.07 kN/mm2 x 240 mm2
= 16.8 kN
b) Maximum pulling tension when taking maximum
SWBP into consideration.
From Equation 3: T = 0.0098 x 0.729 x 1450
= 10.4 kN
We have to select the lesser of the two pulling tensions,
i.e. 10.4kN. In this example, the maximum SWBP dictates
the maximum pulling tension.
2. To find out the minimum bending radius for the same
cable if we do need a pulling tension of 16.8kN:
Tests after installation
High Voltage d.c. testing of primary insulation is not
recommended and can be detrimental to the cable and
accessories. AS/NZS 1429.1 describes an a.c. voltage test
at power frequency that should be applied for 24 hours
at the normal operating voltage of the system. A sheath
integrity test (e.g. with a 1000 Volt minimum rated insulation
resistance tester) may be applied between the outer-most
metallic layer and the earth to identify post-installation
damage, provided the metallic layer is isolated from earth
at the joints, terminations, etc.
Short circuit forces
When single core cables are installed touching, special attention should be given to cleating and strapping arrangements
to contain the repulsive forces under short circuit conditions.
Longitudinal thrust and tensions in cable conductors may
be considerable and may cause buckling of conductors and
other damage in a joint or termination. When cables are
installed, provision should be made to accommodate the
resulting longitudinal forces on terminations and joints.
Sharp bends and fixings at a bend should be avoided.
Prevention of moisture ingress
Care should be exercised during installation to avoid any
damage to cable coverings. This is important in wet or other
aggressive environments. The protective cap should not
be removed from the ends of the cable until immediately
prior to termination or jointing. When the caps have been
removed the unprotected ends of the cable should not be
exposed to moisture.
The possibility of damage to moisture seals during handling
and installation or during storage of the cable should be
considered and where such damage may have occurred,
the seals should be inspected and remade if necessary.
From Equation 4: R = 16.8 / (0.0098 x 1450)
= 1.2m
